Dinner coordinator Geoff Rankin and master of ceremonies Sjaak Kusters check the running sheet for the evening.FULL marks to the Rotary Club of Berwick for its gala business dinner held in the Beaconsfield Community Centre at O’Neil Road.
More than 150 people attended the $95ahead dinner to hear top speakers in the business world.
Managing director of Just Group Howard McDonald told the story of his company’s success. Makes you wonder just how much planning and thought went into getting those fashionable ‘Just Jeans’ on to our teenagers.
Age finance writer Alan Kohler provided a few hints about investment and the problems of high fees for those trying to invest their hardearned cash in a safe spot.
We also heard from the Austin Research Institute’s Cancer Vaccine Trial Laboratory head associate Professor Bruce Loveland.
Professor Loveland expressed his gratitude to Rotary for its work toward reducing the incidence of breast cancer.
When I think about the fact that Rotary’s Polio Plus program has almost entirely eliminated polio from the world I think of the possibility of the same being the case for breast cancer.
Because Rotary’s work is entirely voluntary, all profits made from its charity functions go to the designated charity.
